Warner Cable gets PRISM
A contract signed this
week with Warner Cable
Corporation made Warner
Cable of Marietta, Pa. the
latest in a fast growing list
of PRISM pay-television
affiliates, and the first
Warner owned system to
join PRISM.
Planning a mid-October
turn-on, the Marietta sys-
tem is located in the
western reaches of the
PRISM market area be-
tween York and Lancaster
and serves 4,500 homes.
Ron Amick, manager of
Warner Cable of Marietta,
expressed excitement with
the signing, stating that
the interest of the local
residents would best be
served with PRISM.
“Most people from this
area see at least on
baseball game in Philadel-
phia, even though we’re an
hour and a half away,”
explained Amick. “But
very few get a chance to
see the Flyers or the Sixers
at the Spectrum because of
the scarcity of tickets.”’
With PRISM, Marietta
residents will not only see
home action of each of the
Flyers, 76ers and Phillies,
but will also be treated to
recent major motion pic-
tures and a variety of
Spectrum events including
boxing and wrestling.
Some of the movies
premiering on PRISM in
August and September
include ‘“‘Oh God” with
George Burns and John
Denver, ‘‘Bobby Deerfield”’
with Al Pacino, ‘The
Gauntlet”’ with Clint east-

office hits to pay television,
all of which will be carried
on PRISM. The first of
these films, ‘“The Apple
Dumpling Gang’’, starring
Bill Bixby, Don Knotts and
Tim Conway will debut in
September.
“Not only is PRISM rich
in family entertainment,
but we also extend the cul-
tural boundaries of Phila-
delphia far beyond its
previous limitations,’
stated PRISM president,
John Calvetti. “It will be
our pleasure to serve the
residents of Marietta, Pa.,
